Star Train: Start with the Skyfire Sage

Chapter 508 Demigod Power, an Being That Can Destroy the World
Upon entering the Rainbow Bridge, Yao Luo and his companions felt as if they were stepping on some kind of hard yet thin glass. The pedestrians on the road were clearly already familiar with the area, casually taking photos and walking along the surrounding white cloud railings, completely without any sense of urgency from being high in the air.

"Look, not only at the entrance, but also in the surrounding clouds, there are many celestial horses soaring. It's truly amazing." Xi Lian gripped the white railing by the roadside and gazed into the distance. In the clouds, she could vaguely see many strong white horses galloping in the sky. Moreover, on each celestial horse, there was a knight in metal armor holding the reins, strolling leisurely through the clouds, leaving behind trails of rainbows.

"These must be the legendary Yang Lei Knights, right? I've heard that each member can ride a legendary Pegasus or Winged Lion, and their flight speed can surpass the speed of sound. They're top-notch." Bai E also looked at the knights in the sky, a hint of longing in his eyes.

The legends of Onphalus are never short of heroes; in fact, it could be said that the history of Onphalus is an epic poem nourished by heroes.

The Thunder Knight, the King of the Suspended Blade, the Deep Sea Siren—these legendary heroes have always been objects of Bai E's admiration. Now, he believes that he and Yao Luo will surely be able to leave a significant mark on the epic through their own abilities.

After walking for about half the system, the magnificent gate finally appeared before them; it was the legendary [Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace].

A massive staircase stretched across the rainbow, and at the end of the road was a huge Greek-style square, where countless people from all over the world, dressed in different clothes and in different poses, were talking.

A giant purple earth beast walks through the streets, carrying many children who are laughing heartily on its back. Many Ohma people wearing golden laurel crowns sit leisurely on the steps, discussing philosophical questions.

The scene resembled a famous painting, making Yao Luo feel familiar, and his expression relaxed accordingly.

"Let's go, partner, our heroic journey is about to begin here." Bai E's face also showed excitement as he prepared to take Yao Luo around.

However, the moment Yao Luobai and the others appeared in the square, golden threads began to silently surround the square.

"No, it smells like prayer!"

Yao Luo's senses focused in an instant, and time around him slowed down, almost stopping.

However, it was still a step slow.

Golden threads, like a waterfall, intertwined around Yao Luo. Countless triangular portals suddenly opened around the three of them, and seemingly ordinary figures rushed out as if they had rehearsed in advance, heading straight for the three.

"partner!"

Bai E didn't know what was happening. He just instinctively tried to cut the golden thread. Unfortunately, even with Bai E's superb swordsmanship, the ordinary iron sword was cut in half the moment it came into contact with the golden thread, just like a hot knife cutting through butter. The scattered pieces of the iron sword fell to the ground, which made Bai E's heart tighten.

Because he saw a figure moving so fast it was almost impossible to catch, heading straight for Yaoluo.

Xi Lian also tried to use prayer to help Yao Luo, but unfortunately, she didn't have the same reaction nerves as Bai E and Yao Luo, who could almost stop time. She had only uttered a few characters when she felt a figure cover her mouth, and the remaining golden threads had already bound her tightly.

From Yao Luo's perspective, the sky was filled with golden threads, most of which were surging towards him. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and almost without saying a word, the same Euronis Prayer as before flowed from Yao Luo's mouth, attempting to force the golden threads back.

"Hmph, using prayers before a demigod of the [Gateway] is futile." Amidst the countless portals, Yao Luo seemed to see a red-haired figure chanting prayers at a speed even faster than Yao Luo's.

"In the name of the [gateway], I declare that your method of reciting prayers will inevitably fail."

Yao Luo's pupils contracted, and his flawless prayer was interrupted by a mistake he had never made before, at the last syllable. Countless golden threads wrapped around Yao Luo's limbs, and just as Yao Luo was about to shatter the golden threads with brute force, a figure imbued with the aura of the ocean arrived before him at supersonic speed. Yao Luo saw that it was an extremely beautiful siren woman.

An immense force, greater than that of a blue whale in the deepest part of the ocean, pressed down on Yao Luo, forcing him to the ground. A sword blade, resembling a harp bow, pierced towards Yao Luo's neck.

In that moment of crisis, a flash of blackish-red light appeared in Yao Luo's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

Because the blade only pierced the floor next to Yao Luo's neck, without going any further.

When the people in the square saw such a dramatic scene, they did not try to escape. Instead, they showed excited expressions, as if they were watching a good show.

Above countless golden threads, two figures descended from the sky and landed on the plaza. Before they landed, countless metal guards, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, magically arranged a throne at their landing point.

The moment they saw the throne, the passersby in the square finally became excited, shouting, "Look! It's Caesar! It's Her Majesty the Empress!"

Yao Luo looked up and saw a near-perfect figure descending from the sky. Her hair was like molten gold, and her face was like the most outstanding sculpture sculpting the features of a goddess. Her long robe was as soft as clouds, and her agile figure combined suppleness and beauty. Most striking were her eyes, which flowed like blue waves, and the pale golden patterns on her shoulder blades.

This goddess-like figure simply stood beside the throne, her lively eyes darting back and forth over Yao Luo with a curious expression.

On the throne, the Empress, Caesar, and the Emperor Yao Luo had seen along the way sat quietly, as if everything before her was within her calculations.

Her eyes were a deep azure, and beside her magnificent crown, a scepter symbolizing royal power lay on the ground. Her gaze was fixed on Yao Luo without leaving him.

Yao Luo opened his mouth, which was still able to speak, his voice a mixture of suppressed anger and calm defense: "Is this how the Queen of Ohm treats outsiders? This so-called perfect utopia, I think, shouldn't arrest people so arbitrarily. There may be misunderstandings, but my companions and I are setting foot in the Holy City for the first time today. If this beautiful queen cannot give us a reasonable explanation, I think countless people here will surely be sacrificed!"

As Yao Luo spoke, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surrounding ground. With just one movement, half the square shattered, and the air began to heat up. But in an instant, a deep, ocean-like aura emanated from Yao Luo.

Only then did Yao Luo notice the siren-like woman pressing down on him, who also exuded an extraordinary aura, just like the blonde woman and the empress. Moreover, Yao Luo also sensed an aura of the same level in the surrounding spatial portals.

"That's quite a big deal. They actually sent four [demigods] to capture three travelers from the countryside like us?"

"Demigods? Yao Luo, are you saying they are all demigods?" Bai E was suppressed by the golden threads, but he still had the power to fight back. However, after hearing Yao Luo's voice, he fell into deep thought.

"How could this be? Aren't the demigods in the legend of Onpharos heroes who embark on a journey to chase fire for the purpose of [re-creation]? Why?" Xi Lian was tightly bound by the golden threads and did not have any extra strength for the time being, but she was also shocked after hearing Yao Luo's words.

The empress on the throne slowly descended and came to Yao Luo's side. Under the suppression of the sea monster woman behind her, she slowly opened her mouth towards Yao Luo.

“Good question, but before answering these questions, I, Cerberus, must confirm whether you are indeed the being mentioned in the oracle, capable of destroying the world…”

"Yao Luo, do you know the name [Demuse]?"
